Proverbs 21:17-19

American Standard Version

¹⁷ He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man:
He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
¹⁸ The wicked is a ransom for the righteous;
And the treacherous cometh in the stead of the upright.
¹⁹ It is better to dwell in a desert land,
Than with ^[a]a contentious and fretful woman.
